Want this question answered?
The strength will vary depending on the type of concrete, the base, and the presence or absence of steel or fiberglass reinforcing.
The amount of weight a concrete driveway will hold without doing damage would be determined on many factors. For instance, consolidated area of weight..ie.#'s per sq. foot, concrete strenght, amount of reinfocement in concrete, compaction of soil under concrete when placed, thickness of concrete, etc. Most driveways should be able to handle a concrete delivery truck if the drive way doesnt have any abrupt edges that truck must cross and the tires stay a reasonable distance from the edges..Hope this helped..and enjoy the pool if that is your project
There are too many variables that are not quantified in the question to answer this. What kind of concrete? (There are different kinds.) Is the concrete reinforced? How is the square of concrete supported? What is the nature of the load and how is it distributed on the slab? We could go on.

Actually, the question is: How much weight can the soil below the pavers hold? The pavers are simply a top dressing. The stone, sand, sur-pack, or whatever is below the pavers is the thing that is doing the work. If the soil is soft, the pavers will sink under load. If it is firm, the pavers can hold quite a lot.
42.5 lbs. (19 kgs.)
New concrete will need to cure for several days. Depending on how much weight it is going to hold, this should be postponed as many extra days as possible.

The weight that concrete can hold before breaking depends on factors such as its composition, thickness, and the conditions it is exposed to. On average, concrete can typically withstand compressive strengths ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 pounds per square inch (psi) before failing. However, it is important to consult with a structural engineer to determine the specific load-bearing capacity for your particular application.
A little over 10 tons (20,000) pounds (about the weight of a large truck)

it can't hold very much weight
It is much lighter.

A mini mix can hold up to four cubic meters of concrete. Some may hold a little more or a little less depending on type and thickness of concrete.
143 ton according to my calculations.Thank you
